Abstract
We elaborate on statistical thermodynamics models of relativistic geometric flows as generalizations of G. Perelman and R. Hamilton theory centred around C. Carathéodory axiomatic approach to thermodynamics with Pfaffian differential equations. The anholonomic frame deformation method, AFDM, for constructing generic off-diagonal and locally anisotropic cosmological solitonic solutions in the theory of relativistic geometric flows and general relativity is developed. We conclude that such solutions cannot be described in terms of the Hawking–Bekenstein thermodynamics for hypersurface, holographic, (anti-) de Sitter and similar configurations. The geometric thermodynamic values are defined and computed for nonholonomic Ricci flows, (modified) Einstein equations, and new classes of locally anisotropic cosmological solutions encoding solitonic hierarchies.

Notes
M. Planck and some other authors criticism “targeting quick results” was about the difficulty to provide a simple physical picture of the Carathé odory method and the concept of entropy together with sophisticate geometric methods unknown at that time to the bulk of physicists and mathematicians. At present, the functional analysis, measure theory and topology techniques are familiar to researchers publishing works in mathematical physics and geometry and physics.
We parameterize the coordinates as \(u^{\mu }=(x^{i},y^{a}),\) in brief, \( u=(x,y),\) where \(i,j,\ldots =1,2\) and \(a,b=3,4\), with small Greek indices \( \alpha ,\beta , \ldots =1,2,3,4,\) when \(u^{4}=y^{4}=t\) is the time-like coordinate. We shall summarize on “up-low” repeating indices and use boldface symbols for spaces and geometric objects adapted to a N-connection splitting. For a double 2 + 2 and 3 + 1 splitting, the local coordinates are labelled \(u^{\alpha }=(x^{i},y^{a})=(x^{\grave{\imath }},u^{4}=t)\) for \(\grave{ \imath },\grave{j},\grave{k}=1,2,3\). The nonholonomic distributions can be N-adapted form for any open region \(U\subset \) \({\mathbf {V}}\) covered by a family of 3-d spacelike hypersurfaces \(\Xi _{t}\) with a time-like parameter t
A mathematical project usually starts as an axiomatic system starting with an ensemble of declarations/statements. This contains certain constructions, solutions of equations, and proofs of theorems. In the case of Euclidean geometry, the axioms are considered to be self-evident but various motivations and fundamental/experimental arguments are put forward for advanced theories related to physics and applications. As a typical axiomatic approach to modern thermodynamics can be considered [28, 55], the axioms and certain definitions and “rules of interference” provide the basis for proving theorems. The word “postulate” is used in many cases instead of “axiom”. Here, we explain that in mathematics and logics the axioms are considered as general statements accepted without proofs. In their turns, postulates are used for some specific cases and can not be considered as “very general” statements. In many papers in non-mathematical journals oriented to mathematical physics and applications the axioms, definitions and rules of interference are not cite and related rules of interference are not sited but certain proofs and solutions are provided using corresponding mathematical tools. Such a geometric and PDE theory style will be used in this work.
For standard thermodynamic systems, i.e. not for the Ricci flows, this is just the internal energy and external work conservation law, i.e. the first postulate of thermodynamics.
Following Carathéodory (see also discussions and references in [37]), for standard thermodynamic systems the English version of such a famous second axiom is “In the neighbourhood of any equilibrium state of a system (of any number of thermodynamic coordinates), there exists states that are inaccessible by reversible adiabatic processes”. This axiom is better understood if it is used the Kelvin’s formulation of the second law of (standard, not geometric) thermodynamics “no cycle can exist whose net effect is a total conversion of heat into work”.
Having defined such values in a convenient system of reference/coordinates, we can consider changing to any system of reference.

Pfaffian differential equations
Let us provide a brief introduction into the theory of Pfaff forms and thermodynamics, see details and references in [37,38,39]. A Pfaff differential form is \(\ \delta \phi =\sum \nolimits _{I}X_{I}{\text {d}}z^{I},\) where I runs integer values (for simplicity, we consider \(I=1,2\)) and \(\delta f\) is differential 1-form but may be not a differential of a real valued function \(\phi (z^{I})\) of real variables \(z^{I},\) where \(\partial _{I}:= \partial /\partial z^{I}\). An equation
is called a non-exact Pfaff equation. If \(\delta \phi ={\text {d}}\phi =(\partial _{I}\phi ){\text {d}}z^{I}\) is an exact differential of a function \(\phi (z^{I}),\) i.e. we have an exact Pfaff equation, it is possible to integrate (A.1) along a path C connecting two points \(z_{[1]}^{I}\) and \( z_{[2]}^{I}\) (when \(\phi \) is path-independent) and express the solution in the form
The H. A. Schwarz criterion is the necessary and sufficient condition to detect a total differential equation
In many cases, a non-exact Pfaffian with \(\partial _{I}X_{J}\ne \partial _{J}X_{I}\) can be transformed into an exact one by the aid of an integrating factor \(K(z^{I}),\) when the coefficients of \(\sum \nolimits _{I}KX_{I}{\text {d}}z^{I}\) satisfy the Schwarz condition
In such a case, the equation
can be integrated in an explicit form which allows us to find \(\phi \) for any prescribed K satisfying (A.3).
In a more general context, if we are not able to transform (A.1) into a (A.4), we can additionally add to
a differential of a new function \(B(z^{I}),{\text {d}}B=(\partial _{I}B){\text {d}}z^{I}\) and search for such K and B when
In such a case, we can integrate
for any suitable K and B and find \(\phi \) in nonexplicit form from a so-called nonholonomic (non-integrable) function \(F(\phi ,z^{I})=const.\) Usually, in thermodynamics we deal with equations of type (A.1) into a (A.4), but on nonholonomic manifolds, equations of type (A.5) are involved.
Parameterizations for families of cosmological d-metrics
We consider basic notations for quadratic line elements describing geometric flow evolutions and nonholonomic deformations of prime metrics into target cosmological ones.
1.1 Target d-metrics with geometric evolution of polarization functions
Families of target quadratic line elements can be represented in off-diagonal form, \({\mathbf {g}}_{\alpha \beta }=[g_{i},h_{a},n_{i},w_{i}],\) and/or using \(\eta \)-polarization functions
where \(\tau \) is a temperature-like geometric evolution parameter and, for simplicity, we consider that prime metrics do not depend on such a parameter. There will be stated dependencies of type \(\eta _{a}(\tau )=\eta _{a}(\tau ,x^{k},t)\) if such not notations do not result in ambiguities. We consider a coordinate transform to a new time-like coordinate \( y^{4}=t\rightarrow \varsigma \) when \(t=t(x^{i},\varsigma ),\)
and rewrite the target d-metric using the new time variable \(\varsigma \) . For instance, the fourth term in (B.2) is computed
If \(\eta _{4}\partial t/\partial \varsigma =1,\) when \(\partial t/\partial \varsigma =(\eta _{4})^{-1}\) is introduced for \({\text {d}}t=\partial _{i}t{\text {d}}x^{i}+(\partial t/\partial \varsigma ){\text {d}}\varsigma ,\) we obtain
In result, a new time coordinate \(\varsigma \) can be found from \(\partial t/\partial \varsigma =(\eta _{4})^{-1}\) which results in
Such coordinates with flow parameter \(\tau \) and time-like \(\varsigma \) are useful for computations of geometric evolution and nonholonomic deformations of the FLRW metrics.
1.2 Off-diagonal and diagonal parameterizations of prime d-metrics
Let us consider a target line quadratic element for an off-diagonal cosmological solution written in the form (B.2). We can introduce an effective target locally anisotropic cosmological scaling factor \({\check{a}} ^{2}(\tau ,x^{k},\varsigma ):= \eta (\tau ,x^{k},\varsigma )\mathring{a} ^{2}(x^{i},\varsigma )\) with gravitational polarization \(\eta (\tau ,x^{k},\varsigma )\) and prime cosmological scaling factor \(\mathring{a} ^{2}(\tau ,x^{i},\varsigma ),\) which allows to consider limits \(\mathring{a} (\tau ,x^{i},\varsigma )\rightarrow \mathring{a}(\varsigma )\) with typical FLRW configurations. This can be performed following formulas
Considering a prime d-metric as a flat FLRW metric written in local coordinates \({\overline{u}}=\{{\overline{u}}^{\alpha }(x^{i},y^{3},\varsigma )=({\overline{x}} ^{1}(x^{i},y^{3},\varsigma ),{\overline{x}}^{2}(x^{i},y^{3},\varsigma ), {\overline{y}}^{3}(x^{i},y^{3},\varsigma ),{\overline{y}}^{4}(x^{i},y^{3}, \varsigma ))\},\) a d-metric (B.1) can be written in curved coordinate form \(\mathring{a}^{2}({\overline{u}}),\) with local coordinated \( {\overline{u}}^{\alpha }\) using a prime cosmological scaling factor \(\mathring{ a}^{2}(\varsigma ),\)
By definition, a quasi-FLRW configuration is stated by a diagonalized solution for a d-metric of type (B.3) when the integration functions and coordinates result in \({\check{\eta }}_{k}^{a}(\tau ,x^{k},\varsigma )=0,\)
Small nonholonomic deformations of such d-metrics can be parameterized \( {\check{\eta }}_{i}\tau )\simeq \) \(1+\varepsilon {\check{\chi }}_{i}(\tau ,x^{k},\varsigma )\) (see below formulas relevant to (B.9)) by the polarization of the target cosmological factor, \(\eta (\tau ,x^{k},\varsigma )\) can be arbitrary one and not a value of \(1+\varepsilon \chi (\tau ,x^{k},\varsigma )\) with a small parameter \(\varepsilon .\) We can consider a resulting scaling factor \(a^{2}(\tau ,x^{k},\varsigma )=\eta (\tau ,x^{k},\varsigma )\mathring{a}^{2}(x^{k},\varsigma ),\) with possible further re-parametrizations or limits to \(a^{2}(\tau ,\varsigma )=\eta (\tau ,\varsigma )\mathring{a}^{2}(\varsigma )\) encoding possible nonlinear off-diagonal and parametric interactions determined by systems of nonlinear PDEs.
1.3 Approximations for flows of target d-metrics
To study nonlinear properties of cosmological models is convenient to consider different types of parameterizations and approximations for nonholonomic deformations of a prime metric to a target d-metric (B.3) being under geometric flow evolution. For our purposes, there are important six classes of exact, or parametric, solutions which can be generated by a respective subclass of generating functions and/or generating sources and, for certain cases, making some diagonal approximations, or by introducing small \(\varepsilon \)-parameters.

We can chose mutual re-parametrization of generating functions \((\Psi ,\Upsilon )\iff (\Phi ,\Lambda =const)\) and integrating functions when the coefficients of a family of target d-metric \(\widehat{{\mathbf {g}}}_{\alpha \beta }(\tau ,\varsigma )\) depend only a time-like coordinate \(\varsigma ,\) when \(\eta (\tau ,x^{k},\varsigma )\rightarrow \) \({\widetilde{\eta }}(\tau ,\varsigma )\) and \(a(\tau ,x^{k},\varsigma )\rightarrow {\widetilde{a}} ^{2}(\tau ,\varsigma )=\) \({\widetilde{\eta }}(\tau ,\varsigma )\mathring{a} ^{2}(\varsigma ).\) Respective families of linear quadratic elements (B.3) can be represented in the form
$$\begin{aligned} ds^{2}(\tau )=\eta (\tau ,\varsigma )\mathring{a}^{2}(\varsigma )\{\check{ \eta }_{i}(\tau ,\varsigma )\mathring{g}_{i}[{\text {d}}x^{i}]^{2}+\mathring{h} _{3}[{\text {d}}y^{3}+{\check{\eta }}_{k}^{3}(\tau ,\varsigma )\mathring{N} _{k}^{3}{\text {d}}x^{k}]^{2}\}+\mathring{h}_{4}[{\text {d}}\varsigma +{\check{\eta }}_{k}^{4}(\tau ,\varsigma )\mathring{N}_{k}^{4}{\text {d}}x^{k}]^{2}. \end{aligned}$$(B.5)With respect to coordinate bases, such families of cosmological solutions can be generic off-diagonal and could be chosen in some forms describing nonholonomic deformations of Bianchi cosmological models.

2.
For FLRW prime configurations, we can consider families of generation functions and integration functions which result in zero values of the target N-connection coefficients under geometric flow evolutions and/or consider limits \(\mathring{N}_{k}^{a}\rightarrow 0.\) For such cases, we can transform families (B.5) into families of diagonal metrics
$$\begin{aligned} ds^{2}(\tau )=\eta (\tau ,\varsigma )\mathring{a}^{2}(\varsigma )\{\check{ \eta }_{i}(\tau ,\varsigma )\mathring{g}_{i}[{\text {d}}x^{i}]^{2}+\mathring{h} _{3}({\text {d}}y^{3})^{2}\}+\mathring{h}_{4}({\text {d}}\tau )^{2} \end{aligned}$$(B.6)modelling locally anisotropic interactions with a “memory” of nonholonomic/off-diagonal structures.

Flow evolution with small parametric nonholonomic deformations of a prime metric into families of target off-diagonal cosmological solutions (B.3) can be approximated
$$\begin{aligned} {\check{\eta }}_{i}(\tau ,x^{k},\varsigma )\simeq 1+\varepsilon _{i}{\check{\chi }} _{i}(\tau ,x^{k},\varsigma ),\eta (\tau ,x^{k},\varsigma )\simeq 1+\varepsilon _{3}\chi (\tau ,x^{k},\varsigma ),{\check{\eta }}_{k}^{a}(\tau ,x^{k},\varsigma )\simeq 1+\varepsilon _{k}^{a}{\check{\chi }}_{k}^{a}(\tau ,x^{k},\varsigma ), \end{aligned}$$where small parameters \(\varepsilon _{i},\varepsilon _{3},\varepsilon _{k}^{a}\) satisfy conditions of type \(0\le |\varepsilon _{i}|,|\varepsilon _{3}|,|\varepsilon _{k}^{a}|\ll 1\) and, for instance, \(\chi (\tau ,x^{k},\varsigma )\) is taken as a generating function. Such approximations restrict the class of generating functions subjected to nonlinear symmetries and may impose certain relations between such \(\varepsilon \)-constants and \( \chi \)-functions. Corresponding quadratic line elements can be parameterized
$$\begin{aligned} ds^{2}(\tau )= & {} [1+\varepsilon _{3}\chi (\tau ,x^{k},\varsigma )]\mathring{a }^{2}(x^{i},\varsigma )\{[1+\varepsilon _{i}{\check{\chi }}_{i}(\tau ,x^{k},\varsigma )]\mathring{g}_{i}[{\text {d}}x^{i}]^{2} \nonumber \\&+\mathring{h}_{3}[{\text {d}}y^{3}+(1+\varepsilon _{k}^{3}{\check{\chi }}_{k}^{3}(\tau ,x^{k},\varsigma ))\mathring{N}_{k}^{3}{\text {d}}x^{k}]^{2}\}+\mathring{h} _{4}[{\text {d}}\varsigma +(1+\varepsilon _{k}^{4}{\check{\chi }}_{k}^{4}(\tau ,x^{k},\varsigma ))\mathring{N}_{k}^{4}{\text {d}}x^{k}]^{2}.\nonumber \\ \end{aligned}$$(B.7)Such \(\tau \)-families of off-diagonal solutions define cosmological metrics with certain small independent fluctuations, for instance, a FLRW embedded self-consistently into a locally anisotropic background under geometric flow evolution.
-
4.
We can consider also families of off-diagonal cosmological solutions with small parameters \(\varepsilon _{i},\varepsilon _{3},\varepsilon _{k}^{a} \) when the generating functions and d-metric and N-connection coefficients do not depend on space like coordinates, which is typical for a number of cosmological models. For such approximations, the family of quadratic line element (B.7) transforms into
$$\begin{aligned} ds^{2}(\tau )= & {} [1+\varepsilon _{3}\chi (\tau ,\varsigma )]\mathring{a} ^{2}(\varsigma )\{[1+\varepsilon _{i}{\check{\chi }}_{i}(\tau ,\varsigma )] \mathring{g}_{i}[{\text {d}}x^{i}]^{2} \nonumber \\&+\mathring{h}_{3}[{\text {d}}y^{3}+(1+\varepsilon _{k}^{3}{\check{\chi }}_{k}^{3}(\tau ,\varsigma ))\mathring{N}_{k}^{3}{\text {d}}x^{k}]^{2}\}+\mathring{h}_{4}[{\text {d}}\varsigma +(1+\varepsilon _{k}^{4}{\check{\chi }}_{k}^{4}(\tau ,\varsigma ))\mathring{N} _{k}^{4}{\text {d}}x^{k}]^{2}. \end{aligned}$$(B.8) -

There are off-diagonal deformations, for instance, of a FLRW metric into a family of locally anisotropic cosmological solutions which can be constructed using only one small parameter \(\varepsilon =\varepsilon _{i}=\varepsilon _{3}=\varepsilon _{k}^{a},\) and when the formulas (B.8) transform into
$$\begin{aligned} ds^{2}(\tau )= & {} [1+\varepsilon \chi (\tau ,x^{k},\varsigma )]\mathring{a} ^{2}(x^{i},\varsigma )\{[1+\varepsilon {\check{\chi }}_{i}(\tau ,x^{k},\varsigma )]\mathring{g}_{i}[{\text {d}}x^{i}]^{2} \nonumber \\&+\mathring{h}_{3}[{\text {d}}y^{3}+(1+\varepsilon {\check{\chi }}_{k}^{3}(\tau ,x^{k},\varsigma ))\mathring{N}_{k}^{3}{\text {d}}x^{k}]^{2}\}+\mathring{h} _{4}[{\text {d}}\varsigma +(1+\varepsilon {\check{\chi }}_{k}^{4}(\tau ,x^{k},\varsigma )) \mathring{N}_{k}^{4}{\text {d}}x^{k}]^{2}.\nonumber \\ \end{aligned}$$(B.9)Such flows with \(\varepsilon \)-deformations can be generated by corresponding small \(\varepsilon \)-deformations of flows generating functions.

We can impose on families (B.9) the condition that the \( \varepsilon \)-deformations depend only on evolution temperature like parameter and a time-like coordinate. This results in d-metrics
$$\begin{aligned} ds^{2}(\tau )= & {} [1+\varepsilon \chi (\tau ,\varsigma )]\mathring{a} ^{2}(\varsigma )\{[1+\varepsilon {\check{\chi }}_{i}(\tau ,\varsigma )] \mathring{g}_{i}[{\text {d}}x^{i}]^{2} \\&+\mathring{h}_{3}[{\text {d}}y^{3}+(1+\varepsilon {\check{\chi }}_{k}^{3}(\tau ,\varsigma ))\mathring{N}_{k}^{3}{\text {d}}x^{k}]^{2}\}+\mathring{h}_{4}[{\text {d}}\varsigma +(1+\varepsilon {\check{\chi }}_{k}^{4}(\tau ,\varsigma ))\mathring{N} _{k}^{4}{\text {d}}x^{k}]^{2} \end{aligned}$$which can be considered as some ansatz used, for instance, for describing geometric evolution of quantum fluctuations of FLRW metrics.
In various classes of cosmological models with families of solutions with parametric \(\varepsilon \)-decompositions can be performed in a self-consistent form by omitting quadratic and higher order terms after a class of locally anisotropic solutions have been found for some general data \((\eta _{\alpha },\eta _{i}^{a}).\) They are more general than approximate solutions found, for instance, for classical and quantum fluctuations of standard FLRW metrics and may involve flow evolution parameters of cosmological constants and generating functions and sources. For certain subclasses of generic off-diagonal solutions, we can consider that \( \varepsilon _{i},\varepsilon _{a},\varepsilon _{i}^{a}\sim \varepsilon ,\) when only one small parameter is considered for all coefficients of nonholonomic deformations.
